Can anyone help at all. I have an asus sabertooth x58 mobo, an i7 950 cpu, GTX 460, XMS 3 6GB RAM & 850AX PSU, i've just had an OCZ Vertex 3 128gb SSD. My question is what settings do i need to make prior/during and after installing Win 7. I'm only used to mechanical HDD's. I don't seem to be experiencing lightning quick speeds that i've read about. I have the SSD in the Marvell Sata 6G port 1 in AHCI and a 640gb HDD in the ICH10R port 1 in AHCI and a DVD-RW in the ICH10R port 2 in AHCI. When you have to specify which drive to install win 7 on i didn't format the SSD, i just installed it straight from the box. I also had to re-install win 7 as we had a power cut just before the end of the 1st installation, I didn't format the drive I just deleted the 100mb system drive partition and installed it on the 111Gb (don't know where 9Gb has gone.) Any help would be hugely appreciated.
